Having not seen any use for some months now long-term resident 31289 'Phoenix' stands at Pitsford and Brampton station sandwiched between other stock. Numbered at first as D5821 and released into traffic in 1961 the Brush Type 2 was initially a northeastern based locomotive then moving to the Midlands where it spent the rest of its working career. It was withdrawn from service in March 1992. I am not absolutely convinced about the livery that the NLR have painted 31289 in.
